Pictures tell a story. In photojournalism, it tells the story as seen through the eyes of the author. The image may or may not have a message depending on the agenda of the photographer. Like the old example of going to a party and taking pictures, only of what is happening on the living room sofa is not a commentary of the party itself or indicative of the party as a whole. The image or “picture” does tell a story but only a small part of a larger story. It is incumbent of the writer or photographer to put the picture in to context. In the realm of “art”, the photographer becomes the artist and very little need be said and the observer is allowed to give meaning to the image. In most cases whether in art or in photojournalism, we will immediately bring to forefront our preconceived ideas of what it is we are seeing. I think that is human nature and if we believe that the image like that of the boy outside the school is a reminder of what work is left undone and that there are those in the world whom have needs, then that is a statement to where we are. Frankly, there are some of us who look at images such as these with thoughts like what nice bokeh, great composition, nice lighting etc. Bottom line, it is documenting and sharing what you have seen.
